Topic for open discussion:
Hang
Glider Kite Mountain (HGKM)
- Have
a hang glider launch incline be lifted aloft by kite system. Then hang
glider pilots could use the lofted incline for foot-launching their
hang glider. Once off the incline and into free-gliding flight, the
hang glider pilot integrated with the hang glider wing form a FFAWE
flight system with the tethered pilot as one wing and the hang glider
wing as the tethered and coupled other wing.
- The pilot using a HGKM would not be driving a van or car up
a real dirt/rock mountain. That same truck/van would not be driving
down a real dirt/rock mountain.
- The HGKM could be in territories where real mountain do not exist.
- The HGKM could be anchored on land or sea.
- The HGKM could have some auxiliary kitricity generators integrated for supplying power for communications.
